The 30-year-old will hope to latch onto a new team after being released by the Jets on September 5. He had 20 tackles in eight games with the Chiefs during the 2014 season after missing the first eight games of the year due to a wrist injury that occurred prior to the regular season.

2014

Mays, was placed on the injured reserve/designated-to-return list in August of 2014. When he returns, he will likely take the starting spot at inside linebacker. Mays, who has a reputation of being a two-down linebacker, is at his best against the run. He's coming off a season in which he recorded 67 tackles and a sack in 14 games for the Texans.

2012

Will start at middle linebacker and be asked to get to the ball as often as possible with Von Miller rushing the quarterback from the outside linebacker spot on nearly every down.

2011

Will start at middle linebacker.

2010

Mays is no lock to make the team and will battle to act as a backup linebacker and contributor on special teams.

2009

Thrust into the Eagles' LB mix when Stewart Bradley was felled in camp by a torn ACL.
